I don't even want to have things associated with my name on the internet - it's very dangerous.
Foreigners don't want to invest any more in France - and this is not working.
I like to be on TV when interviewers are good. I like it especially when it's live. When they can cut things, I don't like it as much. Sometimes they cut something and say, "Well, you would get in trouble, you would get a lawsuit." I tell them, "Well, I don't want my lawyers to be unemployed.
If I read too much or know too much it's not because I want to talk about it, it's only because it's interesting for me.
Buy clothes the size you want to wear.
I rather want my things to be copied than me copying. I would feel ashamed!
I don't want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy
I don’t do meetings. At Chanel, there are no meetings. At Chanel, we do what we want, whenever we want and it works. And Fendi is the same.
I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern.
Be politically correct, but please don't bother other people with conversation about being politically correct, because that's the end of everything. You want to create boredom? Be politically correct in your conversation.
Buy what you don’t have yet, or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping.
No one wants to see curvy women.
If you want respect for your past, it means that you have a problem with your present and even more with your future.
It’s great that in life you do something that you want to do because you like doing it and you’re not bored. I’m not bored at all. I’m even interested in lots of things, more so today than before.
